Hezbollah is mulling to withdraw its fighters from the neighboring country Syria if the reasons behind its intervention in battles in Damascus were resolved, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported on Thursday.

According to the newspaper, the leadership of Hezbollah is discussing the withdrawal of its fighters from Syria with President Michel Suleiman.

Sources told the daily that the party voiced hope that the conditions in Lebanon would be adequate to kick off the withdrawal process.

Suleiman said in an interview with As Safir newspaper on Thursday that he is “against the party's engagement in battles in Syria.”

He stressed, however, that he is ready “to discuss with it the matter in an attempt to convince it to withdraw its fighters.”
